Quick Maple Pecan Toffee Cookie Bars Recipe
These cookie bars feature a buttery base infused with maple syrup, mixed with crunchy pecans and sweet toffee bits. The recipe yields about 12 bars and is perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped pecans and toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
